Reviews for Complete Worst-case Scenario
Never be caught out by escaped lobsters again!
Facing a swarm of killer bees and don't know how to escape them? Not sure how to thwart an affectionate costumed mascot? Or are you simply stuck with awkward elevator silence threatening to ruin your day? This book will equip you with the skills and knowledge to conquer not just these dilemmas, but many more in between.
The 'Worst Case Scenario' series is renowned for providing practical, helpful advice on everything from animal attacks to domestic disasters, and this sturdy volume compiles the "most essential scenarios" from the series in one place, plus a searchable CD containing the rest. The authors dispense their wisdom in clear, straightforward step-by-step instructions, often with diagrams to help. There's also an undercurrent of subtle dry humour running throughout the book - my personal favourite scenario was the page entitled "How to Repurpose a Fruitcake", with suggestions ranging from "Use it as art by bolting to a pedestal and placing in a prominent place" to "Use as a door-stopper", amongst others.
Entertainment value aside, this is a useful and nifty reference work for the paranoid, the accident-prone and their friends. Highly recommended. by Emma Lloyd
